Another Day With My PC

Developing countries are fast catching up with the United States and Europe in getting their people wired or connected.

The Internet is no longer a monopoly of first world countries. Asian nations, such as India and China, are making it a national policy to acquaint their citizens with all the latest developments in IT and telecommunications. A recent report by Britain’s telecommunications monitoring agency revealed that the number of new cellular phone subscribers in India has even surpassed the total number of people who owns mobile phones in the UK.

So whenever you’re on a business trip in Shanghai, Seoul, or New Delhi, don’t think that the concierge won’t understand you if you ask them about the availability of a broadband connection. Chances are, they’ll offer you a buffet of options to transport you into cyberspace. I won’t even be surprised if the tiny island nation of Fiji turns out to be big in terms of high speed Internet access accessibility.
